Mud volcanism and diapirism have puzzled geoscientists for∼ 2 centuries. They have been
described onshore and offshore in many places on Earth, and although they occur in various …

This study examines the use of specific mud volcano features (ie, elongated calderas,
aligned vents and elongated volcanoes) as potential indicators of tectonic stress orientation …

We present an interpretational framework for the analysis of a diverse set of geological
structures that breach sealing sequences and allow fluids to flow vertically or subvertically …

Mud volcanic eruptions in Azerbaijan normally last for less than a few hours, and are
characterized by vigorous extrusion of mud breccias, hydrocarbon gases, and waters …

There are yet unidentified sources of fossil methane (CH4) in the atmosphere. Mud
volcanoes (MVs) are a potentially significant but poorly quantified geologic source of fossil …

The term ldquo mud volcano system rdquo is coined to describe the set of structures
associated with a constructional edifice (mud volcano) and feeder complex that connects the …

As a part of the Dutch–French MEDINAUT diving expedition in 1998, cold seeps and mud
volcanoes were studied and sampled in two distinctive tectonic settings in the eastern …

Terra Nova, 24, 255–272, 2012 Abstract Cold seep systems comprise three structural
elements: source, plumbing system, and venting structures or seeping features at or near the …

Structural systems involving mobile shale represent one of the most difficult challenges for
geoscientists dedicated to exploring the subsurface structure of continental margins. Mobile …

New high-resolution seismic and swath bathymetry data reveal the detailed structure of nine
mud volcanoes and two large fields of pockmarks at water depths of 400–1100m in the …
